Reviews for the HP Envy 17-cw0000ng
Source: It Pro
Currently, the Envy 17 can be had for as little as $799.99, which is a significant drop from the $930 it was offered at last year. Naturally, there will be better value for money buying in bulk, but it can't be ignored that this is a surprisingly good deal. The mass release of AI PCs and the changes branding changes across HP may have cast a shadow over models like the Envy but we believe it is still worth considering. It may have that throttled Nvidia GPU and U-series i7 processor, but it still can chew through even the most demanding graphics tasks faster than any machine relying on an integrated GPU. The relatively poor battery life is a serious mark against it, though.

With the current discounts offered by HP - $390 off the price of the 4K model with the RTX 3050 GPU - taking it down to $930, the Envy 17 is very good value. It may not be a powerhouse thanks to that throttled Nvidia GPU and U-series i7 processor. Still, it can chew through even the most demanding graphics tasks faster than any machine relying on an integrated GPU. The relatively poor battery life is a serious mark against it, though. Have we been a little generous in calling it a workstation replacement? Possibly, but the expansive screen and keyboard mean it's perfect for jobs that require a large visual area and spacious interface, while the Nvidia GPU gives it a graphics capacity few other laptops costing around $1,000 can even dream of.
